On a daily basis, drivers have enough distractions and worries, so at Gypsum Express Ltd. we want to make the DOT Inspection, Logs, and Compliance knowledge a comfort zone for our drivers. Our Compliance Office handles several areas such as: Accidents, Logs, Insurance, Various Registration, Liquor Permits, Safety Items & Toll Cards, etc.
We want to familiarize our drivers with what is required when approaching a DOT Inspection and making sure they have no worries. Having this knowledge can only help make your stops/job easier for you, which will help in the long run to keep the driver moving along to make company pickups and deliveries that produce your paychecks.
This is why “Our Drivers Do Make the Difference.”
